Good news for theatre lovers! This Black Friday, many of the West End's most beloved shows are offering huge discounts on tickets.

Black Friday has massively changed since we first knew it as an American-based celebration offering discounts on mostly tech products. Now, as Black Friday continues to spread and grow more popular throughout the rest of the world, you can find savings on anything from holidays to theatre tickets.

Whether you're desperate to see the newest shows or you love revisiting old favourites, this Black Friday theatre tickets sale will have something for you.

You can find discounts for family favourites like Paddington, new additions like High School Musical, as well as classics like Les Misérables. There are even Christmas options like Matthew Bourne’s Cinderella – one of our recommendations for the best Christmas shows in London to see this year.

Some of these shows, like Jesus Christ Superstar and Death Note the Musical are among the top reviewed shows by us this year.

These days on the West End, the average theatre ticket ranges between £35.77 and £186.56 (according to The Stage), so any offer that sees the prices below £30 is worth sitting up for.

Whether you want to plan a jam-packed winter or book tickets to look forward to in the New Year, now is the best time to do so. Here are the top deals on West End theatre tickets this Black Friday season.

Meet your critics: Olivia & Joanna

Hi! We're Olivia and Joanna, your Radio Times theatre critics who have reviewed more than 60 West End shows between us. While our tastes sometimes differ, we can definitely agree the best musical is Fiddler on the Roof and that Operation Mincemeat is a work of genius. On musical theatre karaoke nights our picks would be A Little Priest from Sweeney Todd (Olivia) and Maybe This Time from Cabaret (Joanna).
